Celebrating 75 Years this Easter​

4th - 28th April

Join us from 4th – 28th April for an EGG-stra special Easter celebration, packed with family fun, thrilling entertainment, and exciting surprises!

• Full access to the Theme Park, Thomas Land & Zoo – including Gold Rush, The Wave and of course Stormforce10.
• Diamond Easter Egg Hunt – Can you find the hidden diamond eggs scattered around the park? Crack the clues for a chance to win amazing prizes!
• Spectacular Fireworks (5th April) – End your day with a breathtaking fireworks display, lighting up the sky in true Drayton Manor style.
• 75th Anniversary Museum – Step back in time and explore our special anniversary exhibition, celebrating 75 years of fun at Drayton Manor!
• Themed Weekend Entertainment – Celebrate a different decade every weekend with live music from the biggest artists of the era!
• Mystery Event (24th – 26th April) – Something BIG is coming... but we’re keeping it under wraps for now! Keep your eyes peeled.

Wonder what that Mystery Event could be, good they are doing another event!! Guessing the museum will be in the old Thomas Exhibition.

Wouldn't surprise me if the mystery event sees the dinosaurs returning. Can be fitted around an egg theme.

Would love for the Bryan family to make a guest appearance at the park and talk about the history of the park.

I dunno. Sometimes when you invest so much in a place you have to leave it properly behind or else it can eat away at you. Coming back and seeing differences from your vision may not be the best of ideas.

I agree, as nice as it would be, I don't think the Bryan's will make an appearance.

Does that mean no movie?

Does that mean no movie?

Think it’s only lasting a month and the movie will be back in May

 

[Elise]

A great place to put it A centralised location with plenty of space.
I'm sure the 4D cinema will return at some point once the museum is done - could be next season.

The museum is listed to only last the month of April so I guess it will be back to been a 4D theatre over the May bank holiday.

No probs just for Celebrating 75 years

 

[Elise]

75 year celebrations are a year long thing from what I am led to believe.
I feel like the exhibition will stick around for the season, to allow everyone to experience it

We've made an Exhibition specific thread now - https://www.draytontalk.co.uk/threads/75-years-exhibition.539/
